DME 6: Accessible Hotels and Visitor Accommodation
In order to ensure that inclusive access has been incorporated into the proposal from the onset, the Council will require:
- all proposals to meet the requirements of the Accessible Hillingdon SPD;
- a Design and Access Statement to be submitted with the planning application; and
- For proposals of ten rooms or more, an Accessibility Management Plan should be submitted with the planning application.
For proposals of 10 rooms or more, the Council will require 10% of hotel rooms to meet wheelchair accessibility standards. In particular, accessible rooms should:
- be located along accessible routes, close to lifts on upper floors and close to the reception on the ground floor;
- be situated so that they have equal access to views enjoyed from standard bedrooms; and
- provide appropriate facilities for a wide range of disabilities.
